From exploring the intricacies of administration and restructuring, to dissecting the roles of stakeholders in distressed companies, this seminar will provide an overview of the existing landscape.
But that’s not all. This seminar will also look at recommendations for reform aimed at reshaping the future of corporate rescue through discussions on potential legislative changes, enhanced creditor protections, and new avenues for debt restructuring.
